Allen West to Debbie Wasserman Shultz: You are not a lady!

This is great. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), President Obama’s pick to chair the DNC, took to the House floor to shoot off her mouth and make baseless accusations against Rep. Allen West (R-FL) designed to scare seniors. Of course, she also spewed nonsense about “shared sacrifice” and Bush tax cuts. Capping off her nasty partisan speech she called for and end to politics as usual. Watch:

She really is a vile woman, and Rep. West let her have it in an email. (Via Politico)

Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!

I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.

You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!

Steadfast and Loyal

Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)

Hear! Hear!

I love that guy!

Update: The Other McCain linked (thanks) and noted it’s about time someone said it. I’m thinking little Debbie picked the wrong guy to target. Heh!

Update 6: A liberal left a comment noting nobody refuted anything Wassermann Schultz had to say. These people have such short memories. It was the Democrats who rammed through Obamacare that guts Medicare. It’s the Democrats who refuse to allow any reform of Social Security or Medicare. It’s the Democrats that dreamed up the death panels also know as the IPAB. So, who wants to hurt seniors?

[…] shall not be afforded due respect from me! Steadfast and Loyal Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)The Lonely Conservative has video of the obnoxious speech in which Debbie Wasserman-Schultz violated decorum by speaking ill of a member not present:RE-ELECT […]

Thank you, to Rep Allen West for standing up to this woman.
I agree, Rep West is a good judge of character.
This woman continues to lie to the country and no one calls her out.
It was her party, by passing OBAMACARE, that stole millions from Medicare. It was her party and her, by her vote, that took healthcare benefits from the elderly.
It was her party that spent the country into bankrupcy. She and her party have heaped massive debt on our children and grandchildren.
She thinks she is the ruling class elite and her children/family’s future will not be negatively affected by her votes. She will continue to steal taxpayer money to build her bank account. While our families face the possility of a lower standard of living.
Her district needs to wake up and vote her out. She only wants to make them her servants.

debbie the dumocrat is just another unprofessional political hack. you have to wonder how people like her get elected. the people had better start doing their homework so we can get real leaders into both houses, not just more hate spewing knuckleheads!

My question is this: how is West helping himself or us by bashing her in a sexist way: You are not a lady. Does he believe ladies aren’t allowed to talk on the House floor? She disagreed with his policies but she didn’t say anything bad about HIM as a person. She comes away from this “battle” as the one with class.

I do not believe this was meant in a sexist way, but more in the respect afforded to both Ladies and Gentlemen. He is basically stating that you do not deserve the respect that educated, affluent people used to have to earn, not just be given.

Why are you turning this around and making it look like Allan West was wrong? This despicable woman is NOT a lady — take it from another woman. And it is not because she can’t get up and speak her mind but because she is an outright liar and coward waiting for Allen West to leave the room before BASHING HIM not the other way around…duh…

It seems to me, that Ms. Schultz did not CONDUCT herself in a lady-like fashion! If one is to criticize an opponent, I think it should be done face to face. I find it somewhat amusing that the Congressional Black Caucus is being mute on this issue. I respect COL. West for his views and his service to our Country. God bless him, and God Bless the USA!

little debbie my,my, going up against someone like the col. how did some yankee fool like you show up in fl. and then have the stupidity to condeme our contitutional col. allen west –who will be your next boss in the furture –if america continues forward–you are a fool like polosi and reid and frank and kerry –nothing is as bad as a liberal jew like george seros and ted and jane turner keep it up red dog with your moi loving views— shameless transplant go back to blomberg and the scum that up left behind suffering in a tax swamp we don’t need that or you here

A spokesman for Wasserman Schultz, Jonathan Beeton, said in an email of his own: “I don’t think that Congressman West is upset at the congresswoman, but rather with the fact that she highlighted that he and other Republicans are once again trying to balance the budget on the backs of seniors, children and the middle class. … The truth hurts.”

After reading all the “calls to war” being spouted out like angry baboons in all the above comments, I didn’t see a SINGLE COMMENT challenging the truth of the facts that Debbie stated. From the sounds of these goofy, angry comments I don’t think any of you even care about what’s right or wrong, you just care about appearing Right. Far out, crazytown, violently inspired right.

In this age of information you can’t hide under your dirty rocks anymore. We will find you and we will shine the light of truth on you no matter where you hide. Thank God we have women with smarts and humane decency like Debbie and Gabby, who actually tackle the issues at hand, and aren’t afraid of schoolyard bullyied, crybaby boys, stupid, macho threats, all from some pretend ‘tough-guy’ teabag nitwit and a bunch of chest-thumping, knuckle-dragging idiots who can’t even address the issues at hand.

Good luck with that whole denying the truth thing. Because it’s coming to get you next.

This is the only well written and informed letter about this article, and yet you chose not to print it unless requested to do so.
You have pandered to the lowest, most illiterate, uninformed, uncouth group of morons which I believe would not be welcome in your home.

…someone finally said “to her face” what I toss at the tv every time she opens her mouth. But don’t write her off…she’s not a harmless hairball, she’s a dangerous zealot.

I would very much like to understand her party’s definition of “shared sacrifice”. Because I know what I sacrifice; I also know what a wealthy boss and his circle do, actually, sacrifice. What I have not seen, interestingly enough, is any of his wealthy democrat politician friends sacrificing…I see them enjoying the perks of their party in power, I sure don’t see them giving anything up since they are positioned for all the favors…. hmmmmmmm…. somet’ing is wrong here…

First the members of congress are not allowed to make or address other members specifically. He was wrong and what happened to our society that we start ugly name calling. Are you guys Christian or what? Do you think that Jesus name called his persecutors? I am growing scared that the right wing nuts and the left wing nuts will bring down our society with nothing but hate and ugliness. I feel sorry for you all, because G@d doesn’t like ugly.

Well, Lisa, let’s pretend for a moment that I’m an Atheist (I am not). Take God out of your argument, and what’s your point? This woman is, indeed, vile. She was rightly called out for her own vicious comments and ideology. He refused to sit in silence with a woman who wants be accorded respect, yet gives none. Politics is not for sissies.

And FYI—Jesus was no milquetoast. He most certainly did name call His persecutors [although the language was mild compared to today, it was shocking at the time], and destroyed some private property too, as I recall, to make a point. “Turn the other cheek” NEVER meant “commit suicide rather than fight for what is right”. At the time, in that culture and point in history, that phrase meant something else entirely and was all about persevering in your pursuit of right, even in the face of abuse.

Speaking one’s opinion strongly does not equal “wingnut”. Don’t buy into the attempt to silence debate and park that on the back of Christianity, please.

The point is that Rep Allen West broke the rules of decorum. Congress has a set of rules that they abide by. So it is ok for him to break the rules? As for the Jesus bit, you can interpret the bible anyway you want to suit yourself. But there is such thing as a debate with civility and respect, then there is angry diatribe that doesn’t accomplish anything. When people scream and insult each other means they have no self respect and try to bully each other. When adults act this way, you can see it manifest in our children. The apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree.

you can feel sorry for us all—-thankyou little debbie is not jesus and is just an elected offical i hope you do not pray to little debbie for your families walfare you will not get any blessings little debbie is just one of many transplants that have an agenda to socialize america and kill the free economic system so her and the liberals and progressives have all the power recall this corward and save a slice of the american dream send her back to new york with the col. allen west’s boot in her a@@ i mean agenda

Congressional representatives are often referred to when they are not present, which brings me to ask why West was absent in the first place? Was this a case of a rep addressing a nearly empty chamber? Did he go to the boys’ room? Was he attending to business or shirking his duties?
Congress is debating some very serious issues at the moment. They’re not picking out a china pattern or declaring it a day in honor of some winning Little League team. These are policy decisions that will affect you and me, our parents, our children, our nation’s future. There are high emotions and charged arguments, which it seem to me Wasserman was addressing in terms of policy. I didn’t hear anything that suggests she was calling West names, questioning his manhood, suggesting he was personally vile or evil. Why then did he respond to her personally instead of her policy questions? It seems to me that it was West who lost control and lost his ability to comport himself as a legislator and representative and instead saw this as an attack on his ego. This isn’t a desirable trait in a governing official. From other statements he’s made he’s clearly not there to work with others and hammer out the fine negotiations that make our governing system work. He’s there for his agenda and damn the torpedoes, or anyone else’s opinion. I feel for his constituency and if I thought the opinions here represented any majority I’d worry about the future of our government when some seem to think it’s a football scrimmage.
